Michael, as I suggested in my earlier post about non-celebrity endorsements (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/378005), if the TMO wants to "rebrand" TM to appeal to the masses, I think the most honest way they could do so would be to gather up a couple of months' worth of selected posts from the long-term TMers here on FFL.
You could have Nabby talking about how all the Buddhists of the world are under the sway of their "Buddhists overlords" and so jealous of TMers that they mount non-stop attacks on them. You could follow that up with a bunch of grade-school-level insults from Judy Stein, picking on *another TMer* here just because she didn't want to be in her Robin clique. Maybe include a few posts from Richard Williams to make a point about how TM cures insanity. You could throw in a few posts from Buck about how cosmically important (yet humble) each of the thuds of Yogic Flyer butts hitting the foam is. Lawson could contribute a dozen posts in five minutes on the research about how TM cures Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. And Jim Flanegin could do a song-and-dance number about what it's like to be fully enlightened, while dressed in drag as "Enlightened Dawn." (Talk about lipstick on a pig!) There has to be 200+ years of collective TM experience leading to the things these six people post, and the things they focus on. I say let the obvious nature of what TM turned them into set an example for the newbies, to show them what they're likely to turn into. ________________________________ From: TurquoiseBee <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2014 5:00 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] The Self Course Fairfield ________________________________ From: Michael Jackson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2014 12:36 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] The Self Course Fairfield Oh my God! Its happening - pulling away from its Hindu and then "it's all science" roots and tapping into the vague New Age ""it's all the Self" hoodoo! These TM'ers are SHAMELESS in selling the nostrums. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 3/31/14, nablusoss1008 <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] The Self Course Fairfield To: [email protected] Date: Monday, March 31, 2014, 9:18 AM http://www.experiencetheself.org/
